Monster Roo #2: a work in progress

For those who don't know I am the new Monster Roo, see the post linked in pinned comment.

Slow going, but at least his antlers are shiny.

I have also made a larger, pronged set that will be swappable with the "nubs." The mask is overall taking much longer than expected-- hopefully he will be finished in time for the Columbus show in October.

As of this morning, I have been granted permission by Mangusu to build the official Monster Roo v2.0 and share character rights with Melhelmeh. Get psyched for the comeback of an icon after over a decade of inactivity.

For those who want to keep up with the project, I am @/zeepalmerr on X and IG, @/thepunkmarten on TikTok, and @/sudoku punk marten on YouTube.

I will of course be sharing some photos here on Reddit as well.

Ned is evolving... enter psychokinesis

These antlers will be magnetic and swappable with his baby "nubs." They are shaped from EVA and will be primed, painted grey, and sealed. More to come.

Fresh outta the studio... still have much to do.

This is the foam understructure of the mask. He needs his antlers and then he's ready for fur!

What am I missing?

I am a recent college graduate looking to score an internship with a record label. I realize that this is going to be difficult since my degree is in biology and geography with a background in exotic animal management and operant conditioning. But I do have some experience in the music industry-- ushering, stagehanding, and stage carpentry for an arena and a college. I also managed Mayday Raven and Zac Dowgiallo for a few years, coordinating an album release campaign and show booking (which I realize is not specifically in the realm of management but I kind of wore all the hats since they are/were beginner bands/artists).

Probably the most impressive part of my resume is that I built the official NED mascot of the band twenty one pilots, "Sweaty" of the band Raccoon Tour, and the Punkerton Records penguin. In my queue currently I also have the bands Thought Cosmos and Easy Tiger.

I have all of this summed up in a professional resume with appropriate references and have written extensive cover letters for WMG and a few other labels in response to internship applications. But I have never gotten my foot in the door.

What am I missing? Is it my bachelor's degree that's dragging me down since it is in the sciences and not communication/entertainment/business? How do I get more relevant experience if I'm not given a chance? I know I could plug back into stagehanding and stage carpentry and continue building stage/label mascots but I'm interested in taking things a step further.
